Re: Help Booting to Console

[Aaron Macks <aaronm@cs.brandeis.edu>]

The brute force method is to append the word 'single' to the kernel 
during boot.  i.e. if you use Bootx, add the word single to the end 
of the line of arguements, if quik, type the name of the usual 
kernel, followed by a space and single.  You'll need the root 
password to login
